Page and Post Heroes

Page Heroes are those big bold images and headlines you find at the top of your posts and pages. They sit just below the Site Header and added using the Header Element module, when activated provides the Elements menu in Dashboard > Appearance > Elements

Dispatch has two Header Elements in place. But you can add as many as you need.

Magazine Grid – Home Page

Combined with the WP Show Posts plugin this header creates a 5 post card grid. Very few settings are required. These are the main points:

Rule Conflicts

In this instance the First Element wins and that specific post looks like the rest of them. Its a case of the first element that was registered wins. To get round this you must use the Exclude option in the First Element so it doesn’t apply to the specific post.

Copy an existing Header Element

So you think these Header Elements are awesome. But you want to add your own versions to some other posts, and there is not duplicate feature. Well just add one of the Duplicate Post plugins found on wordpress.org and your in business.
